a troll poisonings in the queue kay has been to meet with the russian ambassador in an attempt to find out more about the nerve agent attack charlie rowley put his unanswered questions to alexander york a banker as directly and his partner dawn sturgis then concluded the couple had been poisoned the coming into contact with the toxic substance so just died a week later and all spittle charlie rowley met with mr york of the russian embassy in london. so that the report. feeling so many of his questions were left unanswered by the u.k. government charlie really has met with and reached out to the russian ambassador to london and now he's lost his partner and this suffering from the terry writing health and he's also been confused by u.k. media speculation regarding the poisoning of his partner and say again although the russian ambassador has been trying to fill in some blanks that was literally eighty percent of what i told him was quite a revelation to charlie and his brother is perfectly understandable they're
5:03 pm
ordinary people reading british newspapers because they know only what they're offered by the press so it's good to have an alternative point of view and understand russia's line of reasoning charlie rowley and his brother had virtually no info on the questions we directed at the british authorities over the script case they don't understand why we're not allowed to meet this group piles i told them that there was no mobile service connection with this group l's three hours prior to the poisoning we had no chance to examine this nerve agent it was all news to charlie and his brother most of the information they had they had read in the newspapers and i got the impression that both the family of dawn sturgis and magic charlie rowley have not been adequately informed as to what happened to the payne amesbury and what happened in sol's ri before they never received any official report for many months now mr rowley and dawn's family received very little information about the course of the investigation so little that don'ts. sun center
5:04 pm
letter to the russian president. the family of the late dawn sturgis once first and foremost to see the investigations conclusion russia wants the same thing it's been a year now and we still haven't seen any official results what led charlie and his brother to contact us is precisely the fact that they haven't been able to receive anything from the british authorities. and other points mr very raised is that he felt his reputation was affected by u.k. press describing him as homeless when he was simply a british this isn't charlie and his brother very nice people the first thing they told me was that the british press misrepresented them. this is not the case and he wants me to get this message across to russian what he insists the russian ambassador on the other hand says there's so much left to announce it but we have plenty of questions regarding the cremation at least sturges because it destroyed all proof thank you it impossible to examine the results of those investigations that have been carried out by the british authorities everything the u.k.
5:05 pm
authorities have done needs rechecking including how these people were treated moscow was accused of and house repeatedly denied any involvement in the events last year and offered to cooperate with british authorities many times something that london has rejected now the u.k. government is still made little to no evidence public meanwhile though charlie riley says he just wants and i'm going to tell. mr rowley's case came just a few months after the poisoning of russian double agent sergei scrupled and his daughter in the city of seoul march twenty eighth both survived though mr screwball has not been seen in public since u.k.'s by moscow for both incidents russia though claims no evidence has been produced and has flatly denied any involvement political analyst allison believes the media's failed in its reporting on the case . the british media is sort of market for the most part completely going along with the food. narrative after all crawley is just another victim in
5:06 pm
the disinform asian that this case involves the british prime minister within less than twenty four hours from the poisoning which was unclear they had all the answers who did what they did and there were we don't know what the police investigation is this is this requires a real police investigation the biggest role in the whole affair to me that's caused by the billing cat website that claims to use open source whatever that is information techniques to find out what's going on from ukraine to discrete parts of the u.k. smear a newspaper published an article on sunday about the meeting with the russian ambassador the paper says mr rowley asked the ambassador why did your country kill my girlfriend and that he received only russian propaganda in response moscow's envoy though says that he and mr rowley found some common ground and that the navajo victim wanted to hear russia's position on the case t.v. host and political commentator steve malzberg believes the article raises some
5:07 pm
questions. the thing here is we have to rely on the newspaper and there account there was a video posted along with the story so the video we see first the ambassador then we see charlie rally and his brother and it's limited it's only about two and a half to three minutes and it does not have what the headline says he said it does not have what the some of the things that the story says he said why they wouldn't post the meat you know that the meat and potatoes part the the story line i don't know so we have to take what they say as as the story because nobody else even sky news and others who have written about this quote that from that story it's not like they all have reporters there but i would have to feel that if you're severely misrepresenting what what he said to the ambassador that we will hear from him.
5:08 pm
saying wait a minute i never said that so i guess time will tell. you creighton is preparing for a second round runoff in the presidential election that itself the first round so a comedian and political newcomer have a lot to me as a lens to head in the polls on the current ukrainian leader petro poroshenko left trailing in second place ahead of the second vote has been calling on his rival to hold a public debate and then to get it in one condition though a drugs test both candidates invited journalists and photographers to the pre-debate giving he has more in the polls of presidential candidates now slugging it out. they counted on him gave him all kind of help and thought he'd take the x. soviet republic somewhere new the result roughly eighty five percent of ukraine voters want to show petro poroshenko the door the western establishment is baffled for them choosing between someone as hated today as the chocolate king pershing co
5:09 pm
and funny guy all of them are zelinsky aka is a president is a tough one backing the winner of round one who has no political background at all is like opening pandora's box while look at who he's been destroying with jokes for years the names are all they're way behind him now how's that for a political background. we did you know to. bring back crimea. yeah you can use islam but. what about his own sitcom launched in two thousand and fifteen selenski character just a school teacher on a fast track to be president turns the whole system upside down. just like maybe he never even thought of it and maybe his sensation came about
5:10 pm
because someone once randomly told the man why don't you give it a try in real life anyway world leaders should probably start watching out for comedy shows or at least avoid petro poroshenko mistakes like making a ton of promises you can't keep petro poroshenko came to power after the mud on revolution he was loved in america and europe ukraine was then desperate for a strong new leader what did the people hope to get from mr poroshenko a country with no corruption less poverty a proper alliance with nato and the you and to the civil war in ukraine's east at whole men abroad he lost a lot of support by failing at all that would probably want to exception ukrainians can stay in the you for ninety days without a visa the president did his best to cut off all possible ties with russia and that
5:11 pm
was the essence of his campaign has been waging a hybrid war against a country for five years crane is under the threats of fools going to war with russia the tactic did really work in the country where millions still speak russian and have relatives there it looks like it probably won't help mr poroshenko in the runoff either almost fifteen percent is just too big of a margin even in round one all the hugs and kisses from nato's most powerful people have a sell by date of this year's presidential election in ukraine seems to be getting less attention in the west that in twenty fourteen countries also receive less financial assistance from the united states than in previous years and political analyst martin summers says that significant. the open amount of money that they've committed to the election suggests that they're losing face in the public's in ukraine. is clearly a busted flush and they don't particularly want to waste anymore time and energy
5:12 pm
trying to keep him in power no doubt they will be beating a path to zilinskas door this minute hoping that if he does win that they will be able to influence in the directions they would like to see but they clearly clearly the they don't seem as one of the candidates and i think that's hopeful for ukraine and hopeful for the general situation because we do need you know independent people have got to be an independent doesn't cheat and maybe he's going to come up with some more sensible policies than we've seen in the last few years we'll have to say it's not clear. last year spain witnessed a record number of migrant arrivals by sea with many of them reportedly help the cross by people smugglers on human trafficking from morocco spoke to investigative journalist lawrence southern he described how the lucrative trade works. how do you get to spain very people have to get to spend a lot of money they spent two thousand you. four thousand four thousand euro
5:13 pm
two thousand for a few how much money can you make. from the door to spain where you know. every person you can have two thousand two thousand factories or four thousand you get totally to fifty person you have to go fifty person to fifty of course and everybody by two thousand five hundred or two thousand five. hundred. and i also spoke with laura sullivan who filmed an interview with the moroccan smuggler she told us more about the scheme. now the moroccan man we assume at the moment is someone that would have connections within the moroccan government or be able to ensure that the coast guard would leave because we were told multiple times by people on the ground that there is a cut that people on the coast moroccan coast guard receive to stop patrolling
5:14 pm
certain areas so that boats can leave from spain so this is a quite. intelligent business this isn't just a few people fleeing their country desperately getting on dinghies trying to get to spain this is a very structured business and at times he's saying it's around five hundred to a thousand people imagine how much money you're making it's one hundred thirty thousand euros per boat i mean you could ten boats in a day you're making one point three million dollars why is no one talking about this massive criminal syndicate it's crazy to me to think that anyone has been portraying this as well certainly on the moroccan or turkish side of libyan side as a humanitarian aid crisis this is almost entirely a business and anyone you speak to on the ground migrant trafficker or otherwise will tell you this is a business they are not looking to help people they don't care if you're persecuted they don't care about your race religion your gender in fact women are turned away
5:15 pm
often in some of these camps spain is one of the main gateways to europe from africa since the start of this year more than five thousand migrants have arrived by sea and twenty eighteen about sixty thousand make that crossing lauren saw them believe the authorities don't know how to deal with the crisis. there's not much the authorities can do i don't doubt that some want to do something about this however most of these migrants and this causes chaos for both the spanish and for the migrants themselves on the advice of traffickers are told to throw their passports into the sea or destroy them before entering spain and we actually saw it with our own eyes passports that had been ripped up on the ground in these camps in morocco and the reason they do this is so that once they set foot in spain they have no way of being deported but what this also achieves is that there is no way of processing these migrants they can't be imagine how long it takes to process
5:16 pm
a person that has offered all of their history their passport their work their banking records it still takes five six seven years to get citizen citizenship in a country a person rocking up with not even a passport how are they supposed to get processed how are they supposed to get a job or become a citizen or even be seen as a refugee so the police can't deal with this influx of people because they can't even identify who they are and the migrants cannot become a part of the european system because on the advice of these traffickers they threw out their passports assuming they would be entering a europe that is far more they imagine is far more wealthy and far more like paradise than it actually is the reality is these people end up on the streets in france they end up on the streets in italy in spain unable to get a job unable to join the actual society because they can't be processed as citizens so the police can do what they want but there's not much they can achieve when
5:17 pm
5:18 pm
continue to see this mixture of physical crime and internet crime and the two will meld to a point where they're almost indistinguishable if you can't really distinguish them at all. join me every thursday on the alex simon shill and i'll be speaking to us in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the government says it's detained an islamic state commando who went to europe posing as a refugee and is suspected of carrying out terror attacks in syria it was also discovered the syrian national was given a prepaid debit card by the e.u. was part of a migrant assistance program here's our europe correspondent. imagine
5:19 pm
a suspected islamic terrorist receiving aid money meant for refugees not just any terrorist a senior eisel commander and not just any money a new tax payer money and it gets worse reports say that he received a monthly payment of five hundred euros on his debit card that's well over today's gross minimum wage in hungary these prepaid cards are issued to a joint project between the united nations and the european union that's supposed to be a strict screening process in place to make sure that only those eligible have access to the funds but this wouldn't be the first time that a suspected terrorist hiding among refugees that inadvertently been given taxpayer money.
5:20 pm
the european commission insists that the prepaid debit cards are not just handed out to anyone that they know exactly who these cards are being distributed to and check up on their status on a monthly basis so hungry is wondering why did brussels not know that they were funding a suspected terrorist this not only creates another poll it also raises serious security concerns the citizens of europe have a right to know the problem of how to provide much needed funding and aid to refugees in europe isn't an easy one to solve but it's cases like these that fuel the popularity of anti immigration parties across the continent and with a new parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment. artie's dealt another blow because lapse of the territory that
5:21 pm
so-called isis was holding it will generate more people trying to get in through and that's why very carefully orchestrated an internationally coordinated this is where international cooperation is key i think the threat for a period of time will grow because foreign fighters will start to come back but i think what we're seeing no with. isis and with al qaeda is we're seeing a time of transition they will transition into something different this is a very very dangerous and very difficult period we need to monitor the transition very closely to be able to identify and track. the sort of coming through and to run intelligence operations or trying to identify those unknown terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere in the world. and the vaccine activists in the united states claim they're being persecuted like jews during the holocaust even donning
5:22 pm
a star of david to make their point it's after unvaccinated children were banned from entering certain public places and in new york county following a measles outbreak. how are we going to do you know how are we going to arrest you . if you want to just say we did the last time so for you. broke the jews in new york right now they never thought this moment will come i'm still are you still with you i don't think that there's a need for quarantine for things like chicken pox or mean or moms these are all illnesses that pass in a few days they have a very very very low death rate the death rate of measles was one in ten thousand people that contract it measles and nine hundred sixty the poor vaccine came along just because the pharmaceutical industry makes billions of dollars off of a vaccine that protects against the measles and they run
5:23 pm
a campaign trying to make us terrified of a disease we should not be terrified of does not want to point. a polish holocaust museum says the star of david is being misappropriated by the anti vaccine activist the engine symbol of the religion was used to label jews during the second world war by the nazis and the museum accuse the activists have been literally laying one of the darkest pages of history. instrumental lighting the feet of jews who are persecuted by hateful anti-semitic ideology and murdered in extermination camps like auschwitz with poisonous gas in order to argue against vaccination that saves human lives is a symptom of intellectual and moral degeneration util star for the jewish people is about remembrance for us you know it's to mark people because of what they are we paid the jewish people paid a terrible price because of the you know star drew another jew you don't you have no right to use these symbols because you make them becoming part of
5:24 pm
political i would say game you make them becoming cheap we cannot forget when children women and people were worrying what happened to them and what happened to them to have this was to be burns to be sent to a guest chambers so if people are doing so even druze they are doing a terrible mistake for me it's a terrible abuse and i think it's. it's so the that's when he eighteen the country suffered seventeen outbreaks of measles the number of cases this year has rocketed to almost four hundred and it's expected to rise the cases were registered mainly among unvaccinated people in the orthodox jewish community resulting in some jews in the state of new york being quarantined. tree again says he used the star of david to show solidarity with the jewish community and i have no intention of offending anyone. well i did not use it as
5:25 pm
a symbol for anti-vaccination i use it as a symbol of solidarity with the citic jewish community in rockland county new york that have been quarantined in america cannot for the next thirty days go into any public places i think that there's the chance that those jewish people have not actually seen my speech there's a been a real misrepresentation of what i said by people who were always against the perspectives that i share so obviously there's always going to be different perspectives but i only appreciate perspectives that actually listen to the speech that i gave. ok that's the way clear for the south thanks for watching next we visit a very different type of orphanage in africa. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next. different clubs in one hand it is logical to them fields where everything
5:26 pm
is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing and that's all. i'm going to talk about. or else in the sink i was going to the. by the way ways and that's lying here. and as a survival guide. this is what happens to pensions in britain. as a report. i've been saying the number something they've matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten
